A compliment to the map created by the New York Times showing the spread of COVID-19 cases by U.S. County. Unlike the Times’ map, this map is normalized by county population size to show the penetration of COVID-19 cases. Counties are shaded based on the number of cases per 1,000 residents. Information on the raw number cases and deaths, as well as rates per 1,000 residents and the five-day increase in cases per 1,000 residents are also available by hovering over the county.
A note on the data: The New York Times aggregated all five boroughs of New York City into one geographic entity. To map it, I condensed data on that city to the borough of Manhattan, (New York County.) Similarly, the Times created a separate geographic entity for Kansas City, Missouri. I reaggregated those cases to Jackson County, Missouri which houses that city.
